Gravity, Holography and The Standard Model (SM-GRAV)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

"The main thrust of this proposal is to investigate implications of a recent correspondence (string theory (ST) vs. gauge theory) to the physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) and its coupling to gravity. Instead of relying on the string picture of the unification of all interactions with gravity, I propose to look at its dual version: 4d quantum fieldtheories (QFT). The different perspective is e ...

Onset of Star Formation: Connecting Theory and Observations (SFOnset)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

Star formation is one of the most active areas of both theoretical astrophysics and observational astronomy. The formulation of a theory of star formation is essential not only for understanding the origin of our own solar system and, ultimately, of life itself, but also for the development of a theory of galaxy formation and evolution. We propose a comprehensive study of observational signatures ...

Conformal Field Theory (CFT)

Start date: Aug 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2013,

The research will be on CFT and address two issues: constraints on correlation functions and operator spectra via respectively conformal partial wave analysis and superconformal indices. This will be achieved using techniques largely developed in the applicant's and coordinator's past work on these fields. This work is important for a deeper understanding of dualities in physics.

String theory

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

Recently a new class of three dimensional N=8 and N=6 superconformal theory has been discovered. These theories are defined by a classical action and have a (discrete) parameter k that can serve as a coupling constant. Taking k large (coupling small) one can use perturbation Feynman diagram techniques. The theory for k=1 is particularly interesting as it is conjectured to be the N=8 theory living ...

 FINISHED 
Global challenges, such as climate change, call for innovative solutions. To meet these challenges, European citizens must understand fundamental concepts of science. Enquiry-based teaching, methods to reduce the gender imbalance and better information on science careers can make science education more attractive. Implementation of these educational innovations requires collaboration with key-acto ...
